No big deal. I just want it known that I don't care about A-Rod. Most overrated player ever.
Again I agree w/ MC2! A-Rod cost the Yankees championships! He's been a cancer on that team and the sooner he's gone the better!
25 million a season to hit under .150 in the playoffs is just terrible!
I've stopped watching the Yanks because of A-Jerk!!
Yeah - its all Arod's fault the Yankees didn't win the WS from 2001-2008.
I love all the Arod hate.
The Yankees won the WS in 2009 w/ arod and he had a great post season. They hadn't won since 2000 despite the talent. I am no fan of arod or the Yankees, but how do you blame arod for his own salary (28 million last year)? He gave the Yankees a huge break when he opted out in 2007. All the Yankees had to do was say good bye. Arod made the bad decision to opt out and the Yankees made a worse decsion to sign him. You should be angry at whoever made the decision to resign him. Up until the opt out the Yankees had only been paying 1/2 his salary.
Would you turn down a guaranteed contract paying you much more than your worth at your job?
